Reading Buses have praised passengers who helped a customer who fell ill on one of its services this week.

The number six bus to Whitley Wood was caught in traffic in Silver Street, Katesgrove, at about 10.45am on Monday when a passenger noticed a man appeared to be unwell. He alerted the driver who called for an ambulance which took the man to Royal Berkshire Hospital.

Nikki Honer, spokeswoman at Reading Buses, said: “We would like to thank the other customers who stepped in to assist our customer who was in distress and also the paramedics who dealt with the situation.”
